Q. What kind of clothing should I wear?A. In most cases you should just
wear something comfortable but if you're dealing with a hip, knee, or foot problem it's a good idea to wear loose-legged
pants or shorts.
Q. How much time do treatments take?A. Your first
visit will last about an hour and subsequent sessions usually last 30-45 minutes.

visits are necessary?A. It depends upon your condition, medical history, and the progress of your
treatment. We conduct periodic evaluations to determine your progress and needs as you heal.

and schedule follow-up appointment(s)

Please bring your insurance card or information and any prescriptions or referrals you have as well as the results of any
X-rays, MRIs or CAT scans (if available).
Q. What exactly is a chiropractor?A.
A chiropractor is a health care professional that helps restore proper motion in joints -
primarily, but not limited
to the spine - to allow for natural movement and function. Using gentle hands-on techniques, a chiropractor may also prescribe
exercises and stretches to increase range of motion, reduce pain and help individuals feel better.
Q.
Who pays for treatment?A.
Most insurance policies cover
some or all of chiropractic care. Workers' compensation and automobile insurance carriers also often pay for treatment.
Patients lacking health insurance have the option of paying for treatment directly.
Contact us to discuss your coverage options.
Q. Is chiropractic therapy painful?A.
Quite the opposite, treatment provides relief from pain. Our treatments work to reduce the inflammation and muscle
spasms which cause stiffness and soreness. If you've undergone a recent surgery or have been immobile for a lengthy period
of time you may experience some stiffness after your treatments
Q. Can I go to either of your
offices?A. Yes. Both of our facilities honor the other's doctor referrals and prescriptions.
Q. Do I need a referral from my doctor to be treated by Dr. Green?A.
In most cases insurance companies do not require a referral to a specific provider.
Call our office with any questions.
Q. Are you licensed?A. All providers in our
office are state licensed and board certified.
